HEAD START

Head Start is a comprehensive child development program which focuses on preparing children for entry into kindergarten. The program serves income eligible children ages 3-5 and their families by providing educational, health, dental and social services free of charge. The educational component focuses on pre-reading skills, phonemic awareness, numeric development and social skills. All children are screened at the beginning of the program year to assess their development. All children receive physicals annually and any needed medical attention is obtained through their insurance or provided by Head Start. Children diagnosed with disabilities are fully included in all aspects of the program. In addition, each child’s family is case-studied to determine their strengths and needs and a Family Partnership Agreement is developed to ensure that each child and their family receive the maximum amount of success from the services that are available. Head Start currently serves more than 500 children in Bowie, Camp, Cass, and Morris counties.
